• January 31, 2017 Page 7 Building Separation: The hardship has not been deliberately created by the Applicant, but rather results from the unique nature of the Property. 5. Granting of the variance requested conveys the same treatment to the individual owner as to the owner of other lands, buildings or structures in the same zoning district; Parking Garage Setbacks: Because of the Property's unique qualities, the code would present undue hardship to the Applicant if the setback variances were not permitted. The variance requests will not confer any special privileges that are being denied by the land development regulations to other structures in the same zoning district because the narrowing of the lot and irregular shape and location creates special circumstances which are unique to the Property. Porte Cochere Setbacks: A majority_of properties zoned RMF-2 are not located on the irregularly shaped and uniquely situated finger islands at the southern end of the City. Therefore, granting the variance for this unique treatment will not confer any special -------- - - •- - privileges to the Applicant. - — -- - - ---- Building Separation: The existing conditions are unique to the Property and granting the variance would not confer special privilege to the Applicant. • 6. The variance, If granted, is the minimum variance that makes possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; and Parking Garage Setbacks: Because of the unique shape, location and size of the Property, the setback variance requested is the minimum variance that would make possible the reasonable use of the land and construction of the required garage. Without the setback variance, Applicant would lose the first row of parking along Kings Point Drive, depriving applicant of utilizing its full development rights and -providing required parking. The encroachments for purposes of developing the parking structure is the minimum variance that makes possible the reasonable use of the Property. Porte Cochere Setbacks: The Proposed Buildings meet the setback requirements. However, each of the Proposed Buildings contain a proposed Porte Cochere which encroaches into the side setback along Kings Point Drive. Although the Proposed Buildings are setback 25 feet, each Porte Cochere is proposed to be setback approximately 3'2°, which is the minimum variance that makes reasonable use of the Proposed Buildings. Building Separation: The North Tower and Parking Garage will not meet the 50 foot separation requirement due to the unique nature of the Property. Rather, Applicant is requesting a variance for the building separation between the North Tower and Parking Garage, which is the minimum request that makes-possible the reasonable use of the Property. {40589909;2}
